A couple of weeks after Eclipse 3 is released. I was thinking of 
creating a branch and releasing it now, but it is just too much 
of a hassle.

That would be great. It would be nice to leave the project in a 
consistent state.

Welcome to the Eclipse learning club.

Interesting. The semantic web pops up any time I need to scratch 
an itch. I've been thinking about RDF recently. Several of the 
projects I've been dealing with have a need for semi-structured 
db. I've used RDF before, and some things like 
ordering/quantifying arcs (a likes b very much) are hard to 
represent. Today I've been toying with the idea of what would 
happen if we took away triples and replaced them with 2-tuples. 
So instead of:
A likes B
you'd have
A has property Likeable234 has properties (B)
Likeable234 has a class Likeable

Fun stuff. I have not found a semi-structured data architecture 
that I like, it might be the next project. Every one of them 
requires structure to be declared apriori. I did a lot of work 
with RDF in a very loose environment where we had no schema, and 
coded in straight C, and we got a lot accomplished. Then the 
database outgrew available memory, and things became hard....
